Karuizawa, the Ishihara family's mansion. Saki Ishihara sat on a chair in the middle of the garden, leisurely drinking his daily afternoon tea.

Nana Ishihara, the youngest daughter not far from her, has already been surrounded by a group of dogs. She had a lot of fun with them.

At this time, a maid of the Ishihara family led Natsumi Hayasaka and Asuka Hayasaka's mother and daughter from far and near.

As soon as Saki Ishihara saw them, he immediately said happily, "It's really a good time for you to come. ”

Hayasaka Natsumi didn't see the outside and said, "I'm ready to come to you for afternoon tea together." ”

Saki Ishihara didn't need to be ordered at all, the maid standing in one place started pouring tea, and sent two cups of top-notch Ceylon black tea to Hayasaka's mother and daughter one by one.

Hayasaka Natsumi didn't beat around the bush and said: "My trip belongs to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I have a request for you." ”

Saki Ishihara smiled and said, "I said yes, and I saw the outside." Friends are made at the end of the day. You're the best friend I met when I was in my last days.

As long as I can do it for you, then I will never refuse. Besides, we've known each other for more than 20 years, and you've begged me once before. If you add this time, it's only the second time! ”

Natsumi Hayasaka said seriously: "This year, Asuka is already a senior. This year, learning or anything is secondary. The most important thing is to find a job. ”

Saki Ishihara said unexpectedly: "If your daughter wants to work in the Karuizawa Group, you can do it yourself." Why do you have to come to me to talk about it?

I don't believe it, you are worried about being chewed on the root of your tongue and said that you are nepotistic. Besides, there is no nepotism in the entire Karuizawa Group, and there is not much of you at all!

In any case, you are now the deputy head of the General Affairs Headquarters of the entire Karuizawa Group. This is not unreasonable to arrange for his only biological daughter to come in to work. Your mother and daughter are still Karuizawa people. ”

Natsumi Hayasaka said truthfully: "If it's just an ordinary position, it's not a problem. The problem is that I want Asuka to go to a more promising position. ”

Saki Ishihara understood, "What, you want Asuka to go to the president's secretary's office?" ”

Natsumi Hayasaka waved her hand again and again: "No, no. That's the core of our entire Karuizawa Group, and the people who can work there aren't ordinary people.

No matter how thick-skinned I am, I still have self-knowledge. I am a graduate of the University of Tsukuba, and she also studied at the University of Tsukuba. As the saying goes, blue is better than blue. She didn't grow. ”

Asuka Hayasaka interjected and said, "Mom, you can't talk about me like that!" ”

Xia Mei looked at her daughter with a straight face and said, "My family conditions back then were very average, okay?" You can also be admitted to the University of Tsukuba.

Growing up, I made you go to a prestigious private school, but you were only admitted to the University of Tsukuba. Anyway, it should be Waseda University or Keio University! ”

Asuka Hayasaka blurted out, "I've done my best. ”

Saki Ishihara fully understood her mother's mood and said, "Asuka, do you want to join the Karuizawa Group, or is your mother forcing you to join the Karuizawa Group?" ”

Asuka Hayasaka didn't lie and said, "It's my mother." However, I would also like to join the Karuizawa Group. Aunt Saki, as you know, whether it was my mother's era or my era, it was very difficult to join a large company as a full member, especially a famous one. ”

Saki Ishihara said calmly, "It's good that you know. I hope you can know how to cherish it. Your mother just knows how to cherish it, so she has today's status with her own hard work.

This was not the result of her close relationship with me. To be honest, the biggest help I have for your mother is to lead the door in. ”

Asuka Hayasaka nodded and said, "Aunt Saki, although my mother is not a good mother, she is definitely a good employee. ”

Saki Ishihara looked at Natsumi Hayasaka and smiled slightly: "Natsumi, this is what your daughter says about you." ”

Although Natsumi Hayasaka didn't think that she had raised a white-eyed wolf, she was also angry and said: "I have to admit that I did neglect a lot of care for her in order to be busy with work."

However, if I am a single mother who does not work hard to earn money, not to mention the problems of our mother and daughter's life, I will not be able to pay the expensive tuition fees of Asuka Private School alone.

This made her go all the way to a prestigious private school, and she was only admitted to the University of Tsukuba. If she was just allowed to go all the way to that kind of ordinary public school, she would only be able to attend a certain university that was completely inaccessible.

When you were in college, you only asked me for money, why didn't I give it to you? If your mom doesn't make much money and you want to go to college, you'll have to apply for a student loan.

Not only that, but you also have to make some time to work part-time outside to earn money. Otherwise, you won't be able to meet the bills and continue your life and studies.

When you graduate from university, you won't have a single yen of personal debt, and you'll be able to face your future work and life with ease.

After I graduated from college that year, I had to pay off my student loans for many years. Your biological father, after so many years, did he give a yen to our mother and daughter?

Also, did he come to see you? He's got a new home, he's got kids, and he's been leaving you behind for a long time. ”

Saki Ishihara said, "Asuka, Aunt Saki is on your mother's side in these aspects. Your mother's words are heartfelt. ”

Asuka Hayasaka is not unclear about right and wrong. She also understands these things. He lowered his head, looked aggrieved, and said nothing.

Saki Ishihara said gently: "Asuka, tell me first, which department of the Karuizawa Group do you want to go to?" If you say it, I'll do it for you. ”

Asuka Hayasaka slowly raised her head and said in a low voice: "I don't want to stay in Karuizawa, I want to go to Tokyo." ”

Natsumi Hayasaka didn't hold back and said, "What's wrong with Karuizawa?" Why do you have to go to Tokyo? ”

Saki Ishihara helped Asuka Hayasaka this time and said, "What are you anxious about?" You wait for the child to finish speaking! ”

Natsumi Hayasaka saw Aunt Saki supporting herself, so she had some courage to say, "Before going to the University of Tsukuba, I stayed in Karuizawa almost all the time for the past 18 years.

Even if I enrolled at the University of Tsukuba, I stayed for a long time in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, which has a population of only 200,000. I just want to go to a cosmopolitan city and have a good look. ”
